Abstract

See full text

An installation plan object is built for installing an application in a network. The empty installation plan object is first created from a template of a prototypical installation plan object. Next, from a workspace container object containing potential child objects of the installation plan object, objects are selected for inclusion in the installation plan object. The selected objects are transformed into child objects of the installation plan object. The objects which are selected to populate an install plan object include an application object and a group object which respectively represent an application to be installed over the network and a group of workstations upon which the application is to be installed. After transformation, these objects are converted into an application-in-plan object and a group-in-plan object respectively. Other potential child objects include a category object having a plurality of response file objects each for installing a respective one of a plurality of applications over the network.
